Too late:(
Realised as I took the tea towels off the line. Was on the rinse cycle. Everything looks ok apart from 2 of DD2's t-shirts that no longer have prints (one was new:(). Truth will be when people try to wear them:p

I have done similar. I think it's really daft that the default setting on my machine is "Whites" when anyone with any sense (such as one of those marvellous WIVES) would make it "delicates".
My favourite setting however is Dark Materials.

Sexism alert (although it's my own sex I've having a go at).
Dare I suggest the default setting was probably designed by a man? ..............and perhaps one who gets his washing done for him?
It's like the way high kitchen units are designed by tall men to be used by short women. (In my case, it helps me appear useful around the house by simply lifting down those things Mrs Bunyip cannot reach. :rolleyes:)

Now Mr Mummits is not useful - I mean tall - or do I?
